World Series of Poker Circuit Announces 2013-2014 Schedule

Upcoming Season Features 22 Stops, Moves National Championship To Atlantic City

The World Series of Poker Circuit has announced the schedule for its tenth season, featuring 22 stops, a new record for the tour. The season gets underway in early August at Foxwoods Resort Casino, and will continue through May of 2014, when the World Series of Poker Circuit National Championship will take place at Caesars Atlantic City, featuring a $1,000,000 prize pool fronted by the WSOP. ESPN will once again televise the National Championship as part of their WSOP coverage.

Other changes include an online tournament series to take place on the upcoming WSOP.com, which will award seats into the National Championship, as well as three new venues, including as two stops in Ohio, at the Horseshoe Cincinnati and the Horseshoe Cleveland, as well as a new stop at the Casino Montreal in Quebec.

As in recent years, each stop will be built around a “12 rings in 12 days” format, with 12 WSOP Circuit gold rings being awarded through the duration of each series. The marquee main event that is the focus of each stop remains a $1,675 no-limit hold’em re-entry event, typically scheduled to begin on the second saturday of each stop and featuring at two starting flights.

Each WSOP Circuit main event winner will receive an automatic berth into the year-end WSOP Circuit National Championship. Automatic bids will also go to the “casino champion” at each participating venue. The casino champion is the player at each stop who accumulates the most points throughout the 12-event gold ring schedule. There will be 50 automatic qualifiers, with 50 additional players qualifying based on points earned throughout their play on the circuit (all ring-awarding events throughout the season will also award points.)
